I’m gonna be much more motivated by the right fit and my desire to do good things with/for people I care about than more cash.

Sure he does and so do other boosters that could join

Couldn't he pay Pope to speak annually at the company for $$$$, to get around

Seems like a good idea, but I think both BYU and the NCAA

I'm pretty sure NCAA coaches can receive speaking fees and endorsement fees.

It's not like paying players. Boosters can contribute to coach's salaries

You sound Russian so I don’t think I’ll trust your opinion on envelopes of cash.

Lol. Top 5 dumbest post of all time.

BYU is super blessed to have a booster with those kind of means

Will be interesting to see if BYU will let him spend it for that purpose.

Question: will Ryan pony up like Phil Night from Nike? BYU fans are frugal

This isn't about boosters and donations. It's about BYU not being too snobby

Utah and Boise State are not as terrible as we might think. Sure, not fun to

Smith also addressed fans with your attitude in his interview

He called out the BYU fan bases persecution complex...Excellent booster.

Who said I’m not enjoying it? I’m just saying all this talk about pope leaving

He seems like a great dude, but he wears those stupid flat-brimmed hats.

He doesn't need to impress anybody but himself.

I didn’t hear anything that convinces me Pope wouldn’t leave for more $

Some people are motivated by things other than money. I know many people who
